Santorum opposes government funding for prenatal screening because it might induce more women to get an abortion?

Absurd.

He went so far as to make the claim that the majority of people who get pre-natal screenings get abortions.

Republicans...please make Santorum your nominee....PLEASE.

Prenatal screenings in India result in females being aborted on a regular basis.

And yet we have some that would force a woman to get an ultrasound for the opposite reason.

If Santorum opposed it on fiscal grounds, you might have a point.

The notion of opposing the ability to gain information based on what women might do with the information is perplexing.

Ironically, I bet he supports mandatory ultrasounds for women who want abortions.

Hey sisters! Don't you want to protect your future sisters?

About Sex Selection

Sex selection means choosing the sex of a future child, either before or after conception. In most of the world, it is used to promote the birth of boys, which exacerbates discrimination against girls and women.

Prenatal screening followed by sex-selective abortion is still the primary means of ensuring sons, and has created lopsided sex ratios in countries such as India and China.

New technologies such as sperm sorting and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which provide additional ways to select sex, are being openly promoted in the United States.

Sex selection raises concerns about exacerbating sex discrimination and violence against women, and normalizing the "selection" and "design" of children.

The use and marketing of sex selection technologies are largely unregulated in the United States. Although the ongoing attacks on abortion rights complicate efforts to address even pre-pregnancy methods, a number of countries—including Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom—prohibit "social" sex selection without affecting abortion rights.

The long knives of the GOP will be coming out soon for Santorum.

Romney is the establishment pick.
Gingrich is a scumbag and Paul is clown shoes.

Here's your choice come November...

Prenatal screenings in India result in females being aborted on a regular basis.

Then Santorum should push his ban in India

 

[FuelRod]

This is not a great stance at all.
It doesn't matter. If he happens to be the nominee, he'll be President.
By August it will be an ABOV (Anyone But Obama Vote)

Ever been to a party with friends back in high school, and you see a quiet kid sitting in the corner, not saying much and mostly keeping to himself? Then you feel bad, you want to be friendly, and you want to help him come out of his shell, so you call him over, introduce him to everyone, offer him a beer, and invite him to join the game you're playing, and get him talking about himself a bit so people can get to know him. Then, by the end of the night the guy's sloppy wasted, making a complete ass of himself, and he doesn't even realize it. He's running around all over the place, causing havoc, and broke two of your mother's vases. But he drove himself. All you want to do is hit him in the head with a bat to knock him out, for his own good as much as your own.

Yeah, that's what Santorum reminds me of lately.

The media is certainly earning their money from Media Matters.

Exactly.

It's a no brainer. The doctor or the abortion provider has to know the age of the fetus.
Ultrasounds are already part of VA Planned Parenthood abortion procedure.

The Virginia League for Planned Parenthood didn’t immediately return calls yesterday. But here’s what it said on the recording for its abortion services information hotline:

“Patients who have a surgical abortion generally come in for two appointments. At the first visit we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit generally takes about an hour. At the second visit, the procedure takes place. This visit takes about an hour as well. For out of town patients for whom it would be difficult to make two trips to our office, we’re able to schedule both the initial appointment and the procedure on the same day.

Medical abortions generally require three visits. At the first visit, we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit takes about an hour. At the second visit, the physician gives the first pill and directions for taking two more pills at home. The third visit is required during which you will have an exam and another ultrasound.”

Making abortion an issue in this election is one I welcome.

Let's get down to the truth of it all on any and all levels and cut thru all the bullshit pro death people bazooka barf out of their mouths on a daily basis.

So you are going to make an argument based on what women might hypothetically do?

 

[Old Rocks]

Prenatal screenings in India result in females being aborted on a regular basis.

And that is relevant to prenatal screening in the US in what way?
